You know the sex is hot when it starts a fatal fire.
It’s even hotter, as a news item, when the fire is caused by a voodoo sex ritual.
The New York Post, which digs this sort of thing up regularly, said a woman visited the apartment building and paid a man $300 to perform a voodoo ceremony to bring her good luck. After the ceremony they decided to have sex.
The fire was sparked after the couple knocked over the candles that were arranged on the floor around the bed, igniting the bed linens and clothes on the floor, the Post article said.
Mary Feagin, 62, who was not participating in the ritual, died in the fire.
“Hopefully others will learn from this tragedy,” said NYC Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano.
Like don’t mix sex and voodoo?

Reading is fundamental…for all you people making comments about the 62 yr old woman.
“Mary Feagin, 62, who was not participating in the ritual, died in the fire.”

Did no one notice that the 62-year-old woman who died in the fire WAS NOT participating in the ritual??? I can not believe the kinds of things people say…she died, it’s a tragedy, and all you can say is that she’ll burn in hell??? REALLY???

“…paid a man $300 to perform a voodoo ceremony to bring her good luck. After the ceremony they decided to have sex.”
So, let me see if I’ve got this right. SHE went to his place and paid HIM $300 for voodoo and sex. Hmmm. Anyone know where you can learn voodoo, maybe like a Time-Life Home Voodoo series?

If you people would reread the story you would see that the lady that used the voodoo and then the sex was not the lady who died in the fire.. There was more than one woman in the building. Shold put mind in gear before making comments..
